     E
Well he's daddy's little boy, he plays with his toys
                             A
He holds on to his daddy's hand
 B
His daddy says sonny you're a big strong boy,
                              E
You're gonna be a big strong man

And they go play catch, go play ball
                           A
Go take a walk along the sand
  B
Big strong daddy and a big strong boy
                         E
Living in a big strong land

 E
Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie
                       A
daddy can I have a dinosaur
 E
Once upon a time there were cannibals
C#m              B            E
now there are no cannibals anymore

 E
Down in louisiana theres a hurricane coming
                             A
The little boy climbs the stairs
 B
And all along the levee all the people come running
                                  E
And the little boys saying his prayers

And a sleepy little laddie smiles up at his daddy
                              A
And he's asking for his G.I. Joe
 B
And daddy tucks him in with a kiss upon the chin
                                  E
And says my little one I love you so

 E
Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie
                            A
Leave a light outside the door
 E
Once upon a time there were cannibals
C#m              B            E
now there are no cannibals anymore

 E
Lay down your head now dont get out of bed
                          A
Dont you let the bedbugs bite
  B
It's time to go to sleep now not another peep
                                 E
And Ill see you in the morning light

And then the radio was playing and the weatherman was saying
                         A
The hurricane had blown away
  B
And daddys little boy was jumping up for joy
                                    E
And he was singing at the break of day

E
Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie
                    A
Daddy can I be a warrior
 E
Once upon a time there were cannibals
C#m              B            E
now there are no cannibals anymore


E
Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie
                           A
Daddy why do people go to war
 E
Once upon a time there were cannibals
C#m              B            E
now there are no cannibals anymore
